Pro Tips for the Best Mango Matcha Latte
✅ Use fresh, ripe mangoes for the best flavour and natural sweetness. Frozen mangoes work but may be slightly more tart.
✅ Invest in high-quality ceremonial matcha for a vibrant green colour and smooth, non-bitter taste.
✅ For a creamier latte, use oat or coconut milk, which enhances both the mango and matcha flavours.
✅ Adjust sweetness to taste! Some mangoes are naturally sweet enough that no added sugar is needed.
✅ For a fun twist, try adding a pinch of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra depth of flavour.
FAQs
What does Mango Iced Matcha Latte taste like?
It’s the perfect balance of fruity, creamy, and earthy. The mango adds a tropical sweetness, while the matcha gives a slightly grassy, umami flavour that blends beautifully.
Can I make this latte vegan?
Absolutely! Just use non-dairy milk like oat, almond, or coconut and choose agave or maple syrup as your sweetener.
Can I make this ahead of time?
For the best freshness, prepare the matcha and mango layers separately, store them in the fridge, and assemble just before serving.
